Preparation
Step 1
1. Cook onion, bay leaves, and lentils in a large saucepan of simmering salted water until lentils are tender but still firm, 15–20 minutes. Drain; discard onion and bay leaves and transfer lentils to a medium bowl.
2. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium. Cook coriander seeds and cumin seeds, swirling skillet, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spice mixture and vinegar to lentils, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

Do Ahead: Lentils (without herbs and vegetables) can be marinated 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
